Three new weapons – a torpedo boat that can fly away after firing its explosives, a streamline “baby” tank and an armored motoreycle – are suggested in designs prepared by-George Walker, industrial and automotive stylist, as means of increasing striking power and mobility of America’s fighting forces. The flying “mosquito boat” would be capable of skimming across the water’s surface at 110 miles per hour with three torpedoes, each weighing 1,200 pounds. After discharging the 3,600 pounds of projectiles at an enemy warship, it would rise from the water and fly back to its base at a speed of 250 to 300 miles an hour. Although unable to get off the surface until after the torpedoes had been fired, it would outperform present mosquito boats by far. Its crew of two would operate the craft and a 37-millimeter cannon protruding from its nose and machine guns located at the leading edges of the oddly shaped wings. The engine and propeller would be located at the rear. The crew’s compartment would be covered with a clear plastic to give full visibility. Another of the Walker designs calls for a streamline two-ton tank - a mile-a-minute machine powered by an eight-cylinder engine. Its scientifically designed surfaces, made of curved steel stampings, would deflect shells and bullets and also reduce wind resistance, resulting in more speed. It would be armed with a 37-millimeter cannon and six machine guns. A thick plastic lining to cut down interior noise, leather padding to absorb shocks as it bumps over rough country and special shock-absorbing helmets for the crew are other features. One advantage of such a fighting machine is that it would lend itself to production in vast numbers. From a military standpoint, it could be used for speedy thrusts far ahead of slower vehicles of the armored divisions or for lightning-like sprints aimed at outflanking the enemy. Hand-in-hand with the baby tank would go the third machine designed by Stylist Walker, the armored motorcycle. A three-wheeled rear-engine vehicle capable of 70 miles per hour, it would be covered with a tough steel “fuselage” extending as high as the driver’s shoulders and clearing the ground by less than a foot, thus protecting wheels and tires from bullets. The upper shell, covering the heads of driver and his teammate,would be of clear plastic such as is used in the nose of the modern bombing plane, giving full visibility and also protecting the crew from wind and bad weather. The second man in the vehicle would operate a fixed machine gun of large caliber, although the driver also might do the firing if unaccompanied. The driver would wear a close-fitting steel helmet, fitted with plastic-lens goggles, which would protect his head, most of his face and even his neck from rifle and machine gun bullets. This formidable machine, like the midget tank, might be employed on dashes by large units far into enemy territory. The Walker designs are being studied by military authorities.
